Invitations to be present were sent TO
Gov. McGill, Mayor Smith, of st. Paul,
Mayor AmeS, Rev. Drs. Graves, Nc

failure of Kershaw & Co. in Chicago.
This firm had bought considerable at
Duluth through Gritfiths, Marshall
IL Co., and when the break
came the latter firm put up
the margins. The failure of
kerShaw makes these margins a dead
loss, and the amount is somewhere in
the neighborhOod of 100000. 1t is not
improbable that Kershaw & Co. will
get on their feet again, in which case
they will settle with Grifliths, Marshall
IL Co., and the latter will resume busi-
ness at once. AS matters stand no one
will lose a cent by the firms tempo
rary suspension, but the loss will exhaust
ther capital. The firm is one of the
largest commission houses in the North
west, and is composed of William Grif-
tithS, James Marshall and George III.
Dodge.
Another firm caught by the break was
the commission house of II. a. Smith.
which will lose about $4,000. but will
not be forced to suspend. Customers OF
the house ordered wheat sold short on
Chicago, which was done through
Hamil u Brine. The customers Won
on paper-but the suspension of the Chi
cago firm swept away profits, invest
ments and all, and Mr.. Smith had to
make the loss good.
Hamil Il Brine was one of the first of
the Chicago firms to go under. Mr..
Smith will not be seriously embarrassed
by his losses.
In all there were fifty persons in
Minneapolis, who lost more or less heav-
lily i'll the break, but no embarrassment
will result. The millers, as rule, were
on the right side,of the market, as they
were interested i'll breaking down the
bear movement. There was no excite.
ment on change yesterday when the
official announcement of the suspensions
was made.

NEW PUMPING STATION.
The Location at Shingle Creek
Virtually Decided UpOn,

The special council committee ap-
pointed to select site for the new
pumping station in North Minneapolis
held another conference yesterday after
uOon. Aid. Mills estimated that it
would cost about $4,000 to bring the
water from Twentieth avenue north
and s125,0O0 if the pumping station
should be located at the mouth of Shingle
creek, if one main is laid. The commit
tee was Unanimous in favor of the latter
location, because pure water can
not be secured at Twentieth
avenue north, and it will
only be question of time when the
supply will have to be obtained from
point further up the river. The Shingle
creek locations also presents many
natural advantages which more than
compensate for the additional expense.
On motion of Aid. Gibson it was finally
decided to purchase site of ten acres
for pumping station, this amount of
land providing for park. Aid. Mills,
the chairman, was then empowered to
receive propositions for the purchase of
land for site, and to call another meet

mentS. The beautiful home on Grove
place had been garnished within and
without in honor of the occasion. AT
the gate an archway of colored globes
lighted by gas welcomed the guests,
and the smooth lawn was illuminated
with the soft glow of numerous Chinese
lanterns, thus forming delightful
retreat from the thronged parlors.
Within the house all was beauty. Kind
friends had sent the young hostess cut
flowers i'll great profusion, and these
formed conspicuous part OF the decora--
tons. In the reception room baskets OF
flowers completely covered a large
table. 1t was white ornamental stand,
gaSSemine, whose exquisite beauty was
enhanced by the setting of lyco-
pedium and adiantum in which they
were placed. 1t was an ideal in
flowers, and a worthily bestowed COM
pliment from Mrs. Dorilliss Morrison, a
society leader, to one just. entering so
ciety'S great portals. Roses were placed
everywhere. They were entwined in
the SmilaX that hid the chandeliers they
filled baskets on the mantels and vases
i'll every available position. But the
chief beauty OF the decorations was dis
played in the dining room,

thread lace over fine white linen, caught
up at the corners with festoOns of

roses. A band of the same queens of
the floral world, at least eighteen inches
wide and composed of hundreds of buds,
extended the full length of the table.
the center of which was fitted in with
lamps concealed meath a large rose
tinted shade The whole table garni-
ture was of JacQueminotS, and it is safe
to say that no more beautiful
decorations ever were seen in the city.
The admiration of the guests was
elected by an excellent water-color por-
trait of Miss De Laittre by Burbank.
1t was present to the young lady from
her mother, and was seen for the first
time by the delighted recipient yester-
day afternoon.
Mrs. De Laittre and her daughter
were assisted in receiving by four of
Miss De Laittre's school friends, Miss
Snyder, Miss Hayward, Miss Reed and
Miss Hause. Mrs. De Laittre wore Il
beautiful costume of pink -brocaded
plush, with train of ivory faille silk.
Miss De Laittre and Miss Hayward wore
cream crepe. Miss Snyder pink crepe
and Miss HauSe white lace. Over SOC
invitations had been issued, and
throughout the evening the parlors and
the lawn were thronged with delighted
guests. each of whom cordially well
coined the fair debutante to high place

LIQUID FUEL AT SEA.
"A New Scheme to Do Away With

"A New Scheme to Do Away With

London Times.
A further important advance has Just
been made in using hydro corbons for
steam raising purposes on board ships.
A Legitimate objection to the adoption of
liquid fuel at sea under certain circlm-
stances has been that the use of steam
for the diffusion of the oil in the boiler
furnaces entails a considerable loss of
fresh water from the boilers. AS this
loss has to be made good by salt water on
long ocean voyages, the density of the
water IS rapidly raised to a dangerous
point. This is, however, entirely over
come by the system adopted i'll the steam

TO A FINE POINT.
Mr.. Blethen Knows How II Ts
Himself

An incident in the municipal court
yesterday morning showed the extent to
which official vigilance is for the time
being exercised to prevent horses
from being left unhitched on the
streets. Wednesday afternoon NJ.
Long drove up in front of the struct-
ure known as the Tribune building
on Fourth street. He had no weight to
tie his horses to, but unhitched three of
the four traces and then tied his reins
to one of the wheels. AS the wagon was
heavily loaded with brick, he thought
there was little risk of run
away, but vigilant copper
thought differently and arrested him.
This touched responsive chord in the
bosom of Elder A. j. Blethen, who
knows how it is himself, and he went
the mans bail, and yesterday appeared
as witness for the defense, with Mai.
W. M. Regan, who likewise testified
that the team was securely anchored to
windward. Judge Mahoney found the
defendant guilty, but suspended SEN
tence. Three other cases of leaving
horses unhitched upon public high
way were tried, ond a $40 fine was i'm
posed in each instance.

The Inventor of a Bowie-Knife.

William Bowie, a Kcntuckian, noted
gambler, for whom the bowie-knife was
named, and who fell at the Alamo, by
the side OF David Crockett, though a
gambler, had a noble heart. \ young
man returning from a bridal tour on
steamboat lost all his money with
gambler-several thousand dollars
and, fainting, brought out his wife.
Bowie, who had been Watching the
cheating from his berth, rolled out
OF his bed, eXclaiming: That's
a boy. | am gambler. You
must play this game with me-" laying
his weapons on the table. They played
a game that doubled. When the amount
on the table was equal to the amount
lost by the young man, Bowie scooped
the whole into his hat without deciding
the game. This resulted in pass at
arms. Repairing to the upper deck of
the boat, at the first fire Bowie killed
his man and rolled him into the river.
Going down into the cabin, he called up
the young bride and emptied the con-
tents of his hat into her lap. This act
was regarded as so heroic and disinter-
ested that the law took no notice OF it.
